Dear Sir,
I am directed by the Council to refer to your letter
of May 29th. The Council however regard the matter
as still being in a most unsatisfactory position. It is
not in accordance with the ordinary principles of legis-
lation that an Act should not be available to the public
and to the members of the legal profession until six
months adtcr enactment. In the present instance the
convenience is particularly serious because solicitors
have only a limited time under the act to bring applica-
tions for relief on behalf of their clients. Almost six
months have gone by and the Act is still unavailable.
It is not a solution to suggest that solicitors should
purchase copies of the Bill as passed by both Houses
with copies of Iris Ofiguil containing the date on which
REGISTRATION OF TITLE ACT, 1964
Imie of New Land Certificates
An application has been received from the registered owner
mentioned in the Schedule hereto for the issue of a land
certificate in substitution for the original land certificate
issued in respect of the lands specified in the Schedule which
original land certificate is stated to have been lost or
Inadvertently destroyed. A new certificate will be issued unless
notification is received in the Registry within twenty-eight
days from the date of publication of this notice that the
original certificate is in existence and in the custody of some
person other than the registered owner. Any such notification
should state the grounds on which the certificate is being held.
Dated this 30th day of June, 1972.

the Bill became law. It is at least doubtful whether
such documents are admissable in evidence and in any
case it subjects the profession and the public to un-
necessary inconvenience and expense.
Many solicitors' offices have standing orders with the
Government Publications Sales Office for copies of Acts
as published. Few offices have standing orders for copies
of Bills either in the prcliininaty or final stages and to
expect them to place such orders would merely result
in unnecessary expense.
The Council still think that there is an unanswerable
case for publication of Acts in the English only version
immediately after enactment so that the public can
liave immediate access to legislation.
I have been directed to pursue this matter with your
Department and with the Stationery Office as a matter
of importance to the public and the profession.
Yours faithfully,
